Dalkurd are returning here after visiting Örgryte in a Superettan game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. F. Sjöberg and S. Leach Holm scored the goal(s). Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Ljungskile.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of P. Olausson when F. Sjöberg scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

An amazing comeback from GIF Sundsvall last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to J. Blomberg scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute.
